Ezra Crowe, a grizzled, half-mad old rig hand, known for drunken rants and forgotten birthdays, is found dead one fog-laden morning

He slips during a stormy shift and is seen tumbling over the railing by two crewmen. A body is never recovered, just his tattered coat snagged on a steel beam below. Mourned? Not really. He was unreliable, irresponsible... forgotten. But then people start vanishing.

One crushed under a rigged valve. Another "falls" into the dark sea with their boots laced shut.

And then there's Callum, an underpaid, tired, and barely noticed right-hand. He slowly realized Ezra never died. He faked it. Disappeared into the belly of the rig, the rusted guts where even rats fear to tread, and now he's meting out his own brand of justice for secrets long buried: embezzlement, cover-ups... betrayal that cost lives years ago.

I hate that I loved you. by justhappyvibez
50 parts Complete Mature
"What the heck is this Ibrahim??!" The man looked up at her bored and then lowered his gaze to that envelope. A small smirk formed on his face and he said, "I thought you could read English, Anaisha!" He scoffed and continued his work on the laptop. At this Anaisha got more angry and shouted at him, "YOU FILED A CASE AGAINST ME!!?" She hit the table with her palm. She was shocked. She don't know what happened suddenly. Till yesterday they were good. Atleast she thought that everything was good between them then why suddenly the first thing she saw this morning is this official letter from court?! "Yes I did! So?" He said still looking at his laptop without paying any attention at her! "And why? I never did anything like what you accused me of!" She shouted loudly but her voice broke a little by the end of her line. She was on the verge of breaking down completely. She is working with Malik Empire from last 3 years and now she is accused of Embezzlement. When all she did was being honest with the company. "And.. and why are you behaving like this? I'm.. I AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND FOR GOD'S SAKE!! " She broke down in tears as she finally said this line. Yes. Anaisha and Ibrahim were in a relationship from last 2 years. They have known each other from last 5 years. They are in a live-in relationship. "Well You 'were' my girlfriend because from now you're not. And also about why I did this!?" He got up from his chair and took steps towards Anaisha. She didn't back off. "You think I loved you? What a fool! Do you really think that I WOULD LOVE THE PERSON WHO IS THE DAUGHTER OF MY PARENTS' MURDERER??!" He shouted loudly and gripped her arms tightly. She flinched at his words and she was shocked at what he was saying. Because for Anaisha, her father is a Superhero and she believe that her dad could never harm anyone. 🥂🥂🥂 Join me in this love-hate journey of Anaisha and Ibrahim.

He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.

"You told them you love me ,huh?" He asks with a raised eyebrows, jaw hardened and eyes narrowed at the shy girl he has hated all his life. She was afraid of his tone,he didn't looked happy with her confession. Was her love going to be unrequited one? "I fuck*** asked you something Ezra! Answer me!" His tone made her gulp,his grip on her arm made her flinch in fear. "Yes" She finally answered looking into his emotionless eyes. Smirking he laughed at her confession,not believing her. "Ezra,do you even know what love is,Oh I almost forgot you are an Orphan,how would you know?" His words were sharp as knife, piercing her healed wounds. She fisted her hands, trying to control her tears. He sighed in frustration running his hand through his hair. "Now mom will not stop till she has made you her daughter in law! Fu**! Why you!" He said ,pacing the room . Oblivion to the tears ,she tried her best to hide. He didn't love her. He never did, she was a fool to even think that he for once did. Hate is all he had for her and those who said hate is the beginning of love,were fools mocking her right now. Gathering the little pride left in her she answers back in a quivering voice. "Yes,I love you. But I don't want anything from you." She says and he stares.Confused at her weird confession. Who says that ? "Nothing you say? Are you playing some brain games girl?" She lowers her eyes and leaves but not before whispering the words that made him feel something after a very long time. "Love is not something to learn ,but to feel Aaron. And I know what I feel. You may name it infatuation and lust,but I proudly call it my selfless love" ....................................................................
The Demon of Saint-Eli by riversmelodie
1 part Complete Mature
When a young devout woman seek out his help, the mysterious private investigator Simeon Engels knows that something peculiar is happening behind the masquerade of the town's most powerful man. But he will need to be careful... for justice can very easily be mistaken for bloodlust. The first ever short story of mine to earn a Mature filter (as it typically makes me uncomfortable to write dark and gritty stories), and, another first, one completely outside of the universes of my previous stories. It's completely standalone, with its own mythology and fantasy/realism rules, etc. Which made it even more so liberating, as I no longer needed to stick within an existing continuity in terms of what's possible and what's not. The Demon of Saint-Eli is the introduction (in an hopefully long collection of short stories) of an OC that I have come to love the concept for months: Simeon Engels, the mysterious private investigator that hides a greater secret than anyone could ever guess. At first wishing it to be a Victorian/film noir hybrid, I changed it instead to a steampunk setting, that allowed a greater range of what could be integrated in the story. Overall, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope to make it into a collection of stories revolving around the adventures and character development of Simeon Engels, and I hope that you will find him as interesting as I conceptualize him to be. 9th May 2021: this story is now part of a sale of art for charity. This will remain up for previewing the stories, but upon purchase, will be removed from Wattpad.

Through The Black Veil

31 parts Ongoing Mature

When the sleepy coastal town of Graven Hollow is struck by a wave of unexplained disappearances, no one can explain the chilling whispers that fill the night air. They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive. Every clue brings her closer to the heart of the nightmare... and the whispers are getting louder.
